Hon. Geo. W. Barnes, the leading
attorney of Prineville who is in the
city today, pays a high, and deserving
compliment to our young friend Fred
W. Wilson, who was orator at the re
cent celebration held ' in Prineville.
Mr. Barnes says it was the universal
expression of all who heard Mr. Wil
son's address that it was the best'
oration ever delivered in that place.
It was patriotic and eloquent, and
every citizen of Prineville, after listen
ing to--Mr. Wilson was ready to con
cede that be is one of the most accom
plished public speauera in Eastern
Oregon.
Fred W. Wilson, who returned last

high terms of the hospitality of tbe
citizens of that place. He says they are
wbole-souled, hospitable people who
make a stranger feel perfectly at home
and when he leaves it is with -pleasant
impressions. Prineville, Mr. Wilson
says, bas every evidence oi prosperity.
Cattle are bringing a good price and
money seems plentiful. The town is
growing steadily, and not an empty
building was to be seen. Among the
events of the celebration were hose
races, and from the exhibition made
the boys would make a good showing
if they would come to the tournament
in The Dalles next fall.
The paths of the editor of the Hep
pner "Gazette do not appear . to be
strewn with roses to such an extent
as to "tr.ip him up," at least. Several
weeks ago he was jerkjd out of bis
cowhides and fined for fighting; and
three weeks ago be made a business
trip to British Columbia, to be absent
two weeks. As none but his family
knew where ho went some of the gos
sips circulated the report that he had
"skipped the country." This report
has put him in a splendid scrapping
mood, and be says in the Gazette:
"Heppner bas some individuals, call
ing themselves men, who ought to put
on petticoats and join a quilting so
ciety." We would like to look into the pleas
ant face of some one who has never
had any derangement of the digestive
organs. ' We see the drawn and un
happy faces of dyspeptics in every
walk of life. It is our national dis
ease, and nearly all complaints spring
from this source. Remove the stomach
difficulty and the work is done.
Dyspeptics and pale, thin people are
litterally starving, because they don't
digest their food. Consumption neyer
develops in people of robust and nor
mal digestion. Correct tbe wasting
and loss of flesh and we cure the
disease. Do tbis with food.

tains already digested food and is a

Views of the Vice-President of tbe PaclBc
Meat Company.
Vice-President-W. VV. Spaulding, of
the Pacific Meat Company, of Tacoma,
in speaking of the livestock supply of
the Pacific Northwest, said recently:
"Tbe wholesale shipment of cattle
from Oregon and Washington within
the last few months has taken practic
ally all the feed cattle out of the ter
ritory. The cattle younger than three
years and which it will not pay to feed
because what they eat goes into growth,
are supplying the Northwest markets.
But such stock will not be available
in the winter, and it will be necessary
for local meat companies to then buy
their stock in other states.
"It is estimated that $2,000,000 came
into Oregon and Washington 6ince
last fall for cattle. The cattle were
nearly all bought in the fall, but not
shipped until spring. The majority of
the herds went to Kansas and Ne
braska. They were not wanted for im
mediate conversion into steaks and
roasts, but for fattenitig purposes.
The corngrowers of Nebraska were
confronted by a great problem of over
production. They bad corn enough to
feed their families and their domestic
animals for years, corn to yield a river
of fluid that animates, corn to burn, to
sell and to speculate upon. The corn
for speculation was the' primary cause
of the mischief played with our cattle
supply. Tho wily speculators slipped
into the Northwest, bought all the 3-
year-old cattle in sight and hustled
theui to tbe cornburdened lands of tbe
Middle West, there to eat and turn
into gold the yellow cereal which
otherwise would not have been worth
a song. Tbe time will come ere many
moons when the quarters of those
fattened cattle will lie upon tbe
butchers' blocks of tbe cities of the
East.
"As a result of the big shipments to
Nebraska and Kansas, tbe price of
cattle on foot advanced a cent a
pound here and the price of beef went
up 2 cents.-'

THE COMMON COUNCIL.
Arjraed and Submitted.
The mandamus suit of E. D. Shat
tuck ys. H. R. Kincaid, brought to
compel the secretary of state to audit
claims against tbe state and draw war
rants upon the treasury in payment
thereof, was argued before the supreme
court at Salem Tuesday and submitted,
and it is expected a decision will be
handed down at an early date.
- There were originally three cases
broughfagainst the secretary of state.
One was by E- D. Shattuck, judge of
the fourth judicial district, for that
portion of bis salary due for the quar
ter ending March 31, 1897, and amount
ing to $750. Another was by A. B.
Croasman, for supplies furnished the
state penitentiary amounting to $20.
The third was by the lrwin-Hodgon
Company for binding, and ruling as
sessment and tax rolls, amounting to
$221.50. As each case involved sub
stantially tbe same questions it was
stipulated by the parties thereto that
the brief in tbe Shattuck case should
constitute the brief in the .two other
cases.

The Beverend Weather Prophet's Hammer
Forecast.
Storm conditions will be disappear
ing off the Atlantic coasts as July
comes in, leaving fair . weather and
more pleasant temperature over the
country generally up to tbe 3d. . By
that date renewed storm conditions
will arise in the west, causing storms
to advance eastward about the 3d to
6th, Barometer will rise and winds
will shift to westerly, after storms
until about 9th and 10th, when great
warmth, with falling pressure and
tendency to storm and bluster will re
turn. ' From 14th to 17th is a regular
storm period, during which very high
temperatures will prevail, and many
storm flurries will break in various
sections, bringing more bluster than
rain. The same is' true for the 21st,
22d and dates touching them. From
26th to 30th, look for extreme warmth
culminating on and about the 29th, ip
many violent atroospherio disturb
ances, thunder and rain. Hottest days
during storm periods, coolest between
them.
A Mining; Giant Adrift.
At tbe Grant Brothers' mine, on the
north Fork of the John Day river, 10
miles west of Granite, one of the giants
got adrift the other day, and began
throwing its stream of water, eight in
ches in diameter, in a circle, B. F,
Grant ran to set the machine, but wfts
hurled aside like a bit of paper. A
miner Darned Berry sprang at tbe
giant, and his arm was broken in two
places. But tbis brave action no doubt
saved several lives. The mighty bolt
of water, eight inches in diameter,
swung in every direction. One of Mr.
Grant's sons, a lad of 4 years, was
sitting on a bowlder about 100 feet dist
tant, and when the water struck it
threw him 10 feet into the air. When
the lad fell, he struck on his head
among some ragged rocks, sorely
bruising his face and narrowly missed
destroying one of bis eyes. The men
were rolled and crushed against the
banks and rocks, six of tbem being
badly bruised and cut. A young miner
named Montgomery had bis shoulder
dislocated, being injured so be will
not be able to work for at least six
weeks. An idea of the danger may be
gleaned from tbe fact tbat this bolt of
eight inches in thickness, considerably
larger than tbe thickness of a common
stovepipe, was hurled from a pressure
of about 160 feet fall.
Began Talking Early.
Few will believe it possible for a 3

such is the case, relates the Nashville
Banner, and any pne can verify (be
truthfulness of this statement with
very little trouble. The parents of the
child are Richard and Frankle Cleve
land, colored, living at 17 Short street,
and the child bas been talking since it
was one week old. Hundreds bave vis
ited the little wonder and bave left the
bouse completely mystified at what
they bave seen and beard.
The child is a girl and differs only
from other babies in that it can talk as
plainly and be understood as distinctly
as a grown person. The voice, of
course is naturally weak, but bas none
of tbe baby prattle about it. In addi
tion to the child's talking propensities
it seems to be possessed of superior in
telligence and gives voice to utterances
most astounding, coming as they do
from one so young.

The Bed Sea Miracle Often
River.
It is a well-known fact that at cer
tain times of the year Link river, a
stream a mile and a quarter long1, which
connects the great water systems above
and below this point, becomes almost
dry, says the Klamath Falls Express,
This state of affairs, however, lasts, as
a rule, but a. lew hours, during which
time people have been known to walk
across the river, 300 feet wide, without
getting: their feet wet. The bottom of
the river has been dusr out in many
places by the action of the water, form
ing large potholes, and when the river
becomes dry these holes are filled with
trout, which are left stranded. At such
times it is a common occurrence to sea
men and boys knocking the fish on the
bead with clubs, and in this way secure
many a. good meal.
There are many traditions reeardilnir
wiis pnenomenon among the Indiars
here, but tbe real cause of the low wa
ter in the rixmr is the action of the wind.
The course ft the etream is southeast,
and the high winds which prevail in
the spring and fall are from the south.
and blow up the river. The outlet from
the ppper lake being 6 mall, the force of
the wind keeps the water back in the
big lake, causing the river to become
very low.

A fatal cycling accident happened re

englishmen, F. Morris, the steeplechase
jockey, and F. Davis, first stableman ip
the employ of L, Eobert, the trainer,
had arranged a bicycle match of sis
kilometers from the Maison tefiitte rail
way bridge to the Croix de Noaillea and
back. They had almost completed tbe
race when Morris, who was a little
ahead, looked back to see how far Davis
was behind, and in. doing- so bt) letl hia
machine run against the curbstone. The
unfortunate rider came to the ground
and broke his leg below the knee. Mor
ris, wno was following close behind,
could not avoid his fallen opponent and
was thrown heavily to the ground,
where he remained insensible.
Disregarding both his own broken ler
and his friend lying motionless on the
ground, Morris, in his anxiety to win
the race, mounted his bicycle and soon
reached the winning post, with one foot

these peat beds, according to a London
dispatch, have been found the remains
of the col:x3oal mammoth, including tlie
portion of a tuslt whieh, when entire,
mutt have been tea to twelve feet in
length, together with tho bone'i, teeth
or horcs of ether animals whL'i huvc
utterly disappeared from ihe facu of
the earth. The drainage work:, which
are now bcinjr carried on in the tri- i

tnostly in a high gtato of preservation,
numerous bones, Elrull:;, and -other f-ib-sil
portions of animals which lived on
subsequently to the disappearance of

Is, however, iSafo to say that it will

of vast political significance. If it
